He ripped from down there

and opened her up to here.

Rip! Clean as a codfish

from Billingsgate market.

More than good eyes and nerves.

Obviously had a good brain, too.

Someone who knows anatomy, right?

Oh, makes Mickey there

look like a butcher's assistant.

Whoa! Whoa!

Thank you, Mrs. Jekyll,

for such a lovely day.

It was fun, wasn't it?

We must do it again.

When I finish.

Henry.

I'm sorry I was so cross this morning.

I do know how important your work is.

Thank you.

You've never been

anything else but brilliant,

but this discovery ought to be

the most significant milestone,

not only for you but for the whole

of the British medical profession.

It is vital that you announce it

at the Vienna conference.

Yes, well...

It will be ready.

Of course, if they do send me off

to take over this job in Calcutta,

there will be a vacancy on the board

of governors at the hospital here.

Well, it would, of course,

mean extra responsibility,

but it could also mean

the crowning glory of your career.

Yes, yes, I know.

Bollingham!

Disease will be the least

of your problems then.

Bollingham, good to see you relaxing.

Once a week, Egglestone,

as regular as clockwork.

- Oh, hello, Jekyll.

- Hello, sir. Good to see you again.

Jekyll has come up with

the most amazing new anesthesia.

The whole study's being presented

in Vienna next week.

Really will be a feather in our cap.

Really? I'd like to come by

and have a look.

- There may be some side effects.

- Aah, nonsense.

Yes, of course.

I must be getting back to my work.

Good to see you again, sir.

You see, we've been having

the most remarkable...

If we take the Tuesday noon boat train,

we could be at Lillian's

by noon Wednesday.

Would it be better to arrive in Vienna

Saturday night or Sunday morning,

do you think?

Henry?

Yes, that will be fine.

Henry?

Henry.

Henry?

What is it? What do you want?

I just wanted to say good night.

Good night.

Good night, Charlie.

How about us getting together?

Too far away.

You just wait here a minute, love.

- Georgie, I need another room.

- Sorry, I'm closing up.

Come on, Georgie. I've got a big spender.

Please. Paid in advance.

Maggie, why can't you quit work

and go home at a decent hour,

like everybody else, hmm?

This is why, stupid.

The same reason you don't.

All right, go on, then.

Top floor. Number 18.

Just don't be all bloody night. I've got

a wife and family at home, you know.

Our lucky day.

He happened to have one available.

Our... lucky day?

That's a long climb.

Let's see.

Oh, 18.

Here we are. Oh, cozy.

Light the lamp, will you, love?

Maybe we can warm this place up.

Sir?
